Dolph Ziggler's Promo on Main Event

Anyone else come away very impressed with his promo with The Miz?

I thought he did an extremely good job and outperformed The Miz, who I consider to be very good on the microphone.

Also, I frequently hear people bashing his mic skills and I am curious if it changed anyone's mind.

<--- Not the full promo, but most of it.

the problem isnt that people bash his mic skills. It's that people think he's shit on the mic because they never let him speak on the MAIN SHOW. He does so much fantastic work on their lesser-viewed programs, that if people watched those and paid attention to his promo work, they would realize he's not shit at all.

Isn't that bashing? I agree with you though. It's because they never let him speak and don't see it.

Any video? Haven't been keeping up with the show, but I'm interested in seeing the promo. Having trouble finding it on youtube.

Good promo from both. Probably Dolph's best work. Not a fan of his promos normally because it looks like he's trying to make a "cool face" and he makes some really corny one-liners(look at his promo from this past RAW). Just usually looked forced but he did good on Main Event. Miz was good too but I expect that from him. Not a Miz fan either but he's a good mic worker.


My only problem with this promo was the horrible "Show off" line at the end. :no: Just no. Not sure if Dolph comes up with this stuff or the writers but it needs to stop.

It may be "smaller" but it's not "small".

With the cluttered scramble of RAW and SmackDown!, I think that Main Event could end up becoming the ideal proving ground for guys like Dolph and Miz.

T'will be the reign of the upper-mid carders on Main Event.

Just sucks we don't get it here in the UK.

Ziggler is the man. Miz seemed a little off at first but I think that's just because he's not used to pandering to the crowd.

But ee gad. That "Show...Off" line. Although I have no problem if he is using it with a double meaning like "since my promo is over, the show is no longer worth watching so turn it off". Maybe I read into things too much.

I like that line.

I agree about it having a double meaning, both in terms of, "I'm done here," but I also enjoy reading it as him saying, "Fuck off."

Still hope he starts working in, "I'm so damn sick of being so damn sick."

Oh, and loved his hometown crowd burn. Very different from the usual, predictable hometown heat generators.

if Raw had promo's like this on a constant weekly basis it would definitely build more stars, sometimes i wonder if Raw's better with less 2 minute matches and just a couple of significant matches with promo's like this built around them hyping them up, it gives viewers a reason to keep watching and to see who wins rather than a random filler match that nobody cares about.

Ziggler was doing great mic work on NXT 2 years ago...he really suffers from being overscripted!

I thought Ziggler was good on Raw as well..I was always under the impression that Vickie was never placed with him as a mouth piece but because she was simply a heel magnet which he's not & unfortunately for him, he can't get the heat unless Vickie is talking..Too many times with Dolph it would see he's trying to please small pockets of the crowd instead of being hated by everyone, something Vickie is a pro at lol..
